This bar has now closed. This and the surrounding units, along with PwC's office building next door are being demolished to make way for the Shard of Glass Building. It's a shame to see the Bridge Bar go as it was one of the only decent station pubs, probably in the country.

It's crap, but it's in a station. Compared to the Bridge Bar's peer group it's probably the best station pub in the country. That's a bit like picking a favourite brain tumour, but you get the idea. It's probably at its best in the early morning when one of their surprisingly tasty bacon baps accompanied by a decent pot of tea combine to become one of the finer points of a commute to London.

This is the only pub I know (that said, I don't know much) that operates a Post Office style queue. When you enter, you are faced with a single file line of people waiting their turn to be served when they reach the head of the line, rather than the traditional approach of fanning out at the bar and attentive, professional staff making an effort to spot and serve people in the right order. They just don't try!
